PIV light sources
Pulsed laser diodes
Pulsed laser diodes with 5 to 40 W are a suitable low-cost illumination for PIV studies.
LPS - LED light sheet
Use of LED technology instead of classic lasers. Safe alternative for measurements in water.
LED light source
Low-cost illumination system for experiments requiring pulsed and synchronized light sources
Micro-PIV (µPIV)
Fiber-coupled pulsed laser diodes for measurements using microscopes and others.
Pulsed Nd:YAG systems
We offer a wide range of laser illumination systems suitable for your needs.
